(Verse)
(Am)Right outside of this one church town
There's a (C)gold, dirt road to a whole lot of nothin'
Got a (D)deed to the land but it ain't my ground
This is (Am)God's country
(Am)We pray for rain, thank him when it's fallin'
'Cause (C)it brings a grain and a little bit of money
We put (D)it back in the plate I guess that's why
They call it (Am)God's country
 
(Chorus)
(Am)I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' (C)back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin’ (D) baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the (Am)dogs running
(Am)Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie (C)whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The (D)devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is (Am)God's country
 
(Verse)
(Am)We turned the dirt and worked until the week's done
(C)We take a break and break bread on Sunday
And then (D)do it all again 'cause we're proud to be
From (Am)God's country (Yeah, yeah)
 
(Chorus)
(Am)I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' (C)back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin’ (D) baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the (Am)dogs running
(Am)Saved by the sound of the been foun
Dixie (C)whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The (D)devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is (Am)God's country (yeah)

(Bridge)
(Am)I don't care what my headstone reads
And (C)what kind of pine wood box I end up in
(D)When it's my time, lay me six feet deep
In (Am)God's country (Yeah, yeah)
 
(Chorus)
(Am)I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' (C)back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin’ (D) baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the (Am)dogs running
(Am)Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie (C)whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The (D)devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is (Am)God's country (God's country)
 
(Chorus)
(Am)I saw the light in the sunrise
Sittin' (C)back in the 40 on a muddy riverside
Gettin’ (D) baptized in holy water and 'shine
With the (Am)dogs running
(Am)Saved by the sound of the been found
Dixie (C)whistled in the wind, that'll get you Heaven bound
The (D)devil went down to Georgia but he didn't stick around
This is (Am)God's country - - - - -
